This is my first story on here, so don't hate me if it sucks. This story takes place after "Pandora" when Alex has left Nikita and gone on her own to seek revenge.
Just a few more missions for Oversight, then I can finally get revenge for my father's death, Alex thought as she stared at herself in the mirror, preparing herself for a meeting with the members of the organization she would soon detach from.
"Hello Alex" Amanda representing Oversight, greeted her.
"What's the mission this time?" Alex asked, ignoring Amanda's greeting.
It had been five weeks since Alex had left Nikita, and there was no way she would ever return to her. Alex had already successfully completed nine missions for Oversight, and soon she would have all the resources she needed in order to get her revenge.
"Alex, your objective is to take out a target named Sergei Baskov, a Russian arms dealer who has some valuable intel for Oversight. You will infiltrate his warehouse and force him to open his safe containing the intel. Then, kill him. Understood?"
"Yes" Alex replied, pushing the hair out of her face as she rose from the chair, which stood before the members of Oversight.
The old wooden doors filled with termites creaked when Alex sneaked through the back of the warehouse. This was a simple mission to her. Only a few guards to take out, open the safe, and kill him. This seemed like nothing compared to some of her previous missions when she had to take on at least ten men by herself.
Taking out the first guard was easy. She took him by surprise, quickly shooting him in the chest with her pistol. However, the second guard was slightly more work. He heard the shot ring out and quickly turned. She proceeded to shoot him, but his huge fist knocked the gun out of her hands. She socked him in the face, instantly breaking his nose. Feeling the blood drip from his nose infuriated him. He jabbed Alex in the gut, where she let out a slight grunt of pain. The guard on his rampage, kicked Alex's feet from under her, knocking her onto her back. He gripped Alex's throat with his abnormally large hands. She was losing her breath and there was no way she could fight him off of her. She reached for her gun just a few inches from her reach. She was losing conscious from the lack of oxygen and everything was quickly fading to darkness. In a desperate last attempt, she stretched as far as she could and grabbed the gun, quickly gripping it and putting a bullet through the head of the guard.
Rather than immediately getting up, she laid on the cool concrete for an extra moment while she caught her breath. But she knew Baskov would be alerted by the gunshots and stood up.
Hidden behind a few wooden crates, Alex could see Baskov standing in front of his safe with a gun in hand. Nearly fifteen feet away, Alex began to approach him. Right when Alex was about to come into his sight, she heard a noise coming from behind her. She turned her head and looked over her right shoulder. She saw a slim female wearing jeggings and a leather jacket, with a gun in her hand. Nikita.
What is she doing here? I thought I had finally lost her weeks ago. Ugh, just one more mission and I would have been on my way. But no, Nikita always has to come and intervene. Alex thought, as she and Nikita stared into each other's eyes for a brief moment. But instead of seeing love and relief, Nikita saw hatred and anger in Alex's eyes.
"What are you doing here, Nikita?" Raising her gun at the intruder.
"I could ask you the same question." Nikita replied.
"I'm not coming with you. Leave."
"Actually, I wasn't here for you. Michael and I are here for Baskov's intel. He's outside keeping the car running."
Great, Alex thought, Michael's here too. What is this? Some sort of happy family reunion?
"Oh…well you're not getting the intel. I'm-"Before Alex could finish her sentence two shots rang out.
Nikita look down at her torso to see if Alex had really shot her, but there were no bullet holes in her. She looked up and saw Alex lying on the ground, in a puddle of her own blood. Nikita turned to her right and saw Baskov holding his gun still pointing at Alex. Nikita returned the favor and put two bullets in his head.
She sprinted over to Alex and assessed the damage. Two gunshot wounds. One bullet was lodged in her right abdomen where her ribs were, clearly breaking a few in the process. And the other, was slightly to the left of her heart. Nikita felt the side of her neck, below Alex's jaw, for her pulse. She let out a slight sigh of relief when she felt a weak heart beat. However, Alex wasn't out of the woods yet. She was losing a lot of blood…fast.
Even though Nikita and Alex were now supposed "enemies", Nikita still deeply cared for Alex and would not let her die on her watch.
She brushed the strands of hair out of Alex's face with her gentle fingers and smiled at the semi-conscious girl.
"Alex, stay with me. It's going to be all right. Don't you give up on me just yet."
Hearing Nikita's soothing voice, Alex closed her eyes and drifted into the darkness of unconsciousness.
What did you think? Should I continue the story?
